Question
Well I have heard that you can grow food or plants in your crabitat but you don't half to, so my question is were can I find the seeds that are appropriate for  my hermits. And can I grow some wild flowers that are seeds(like the ones that are random seed and you plant them into your garden and random flowers pop up). Also Can I grow grass in their to like normal grass that you can buy at lowes?

Answer
While it is safe to grow some plants in your crabitat not all plants are a good choice. Variety packs of wild flower seeds don't work because some of the plants in side might be harmful. Commercial grass seed is often coated with fertilizers.

Birdseed (that has not been fortified with vitamins) will work, wheat berries works great too.
